Enys Men

  • A middle-aged woman looking worried as she looks back
  • A middle-aged woman in a red wind jacket examining camomiles in the mountain as she hunches with a shovel dug into the rocky soil
  • A middle-aged woman in a read wind jacket lying on the rocky soil with the camomiles in front of her, watched by a few nuns in white aprons behind her

A Pre-recorded Q&A with BAFTA-winning director Mark Jenkin
immediately follows the film.

“The writer-director’s use of colour 16mm, his (now-famous) 1970s Bolex clockwork camera, and post-production sound anoint Enys Men as the Kernowek equivalent of such classic English folk horrors as The Wicker Man.” ~ Tara Brady, Irish Times

“Are its cultish mysteries for everyone? Undoubtedly not. But if there’s a place in your heart for dark, folky mind-benders that plug into the cosmic energy of remote, oceanic terrain, you should take a trip across Jenkin’s freaky landscape asap.” ~ Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

A wildlife volunteer on an uninhabited island off the British coast descends into a terrifying madness that challenges her grip on reality and pushes her into a living nightmare. Evoking the feeling of discovering a reel of never-before-seen celluloid unspooling in a haunted movie palace, this provocative and masterful vision of horror asserts Mark Jenkin as one of the U.K.’s most exciting and singular filmmakers.

And don’t miss what critic Mark Kermode called the best film of the 2010s, Jenkin’s BAFTA winner film BAIT, playing for a one night only on March 22. Part of Two By Mark Jenkin.
